GOT HIS HAIR BACK.
Wai Perfectly Bald When He Started
to Uae Newbro’g Herplclde .
Frederick Manuell, Maryland block,
Butte, Montana, bought a bottle of New
bro’s Herpicide, April 6, '99, and began to
use it for entire baldness. The hair fol
licles in his scalp were not dead and In
20 days he had hair all over his head.
On July 2 he writes, “and today my hair
Is as thick and luxuriant as any one
could wish.” Newbro’s Herpicide works
on an old principle and with a new dis
covery—destroy the cause and you re
move the effect. Herpicide destroys the
germ that causes dandruff, falling hair,
and finally baldness, so that with the
cause gone the effect cannot remain.
Stops falling hair at once and a new
growth starts. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample
to The Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich.
